When Johnny Depp Called Angelina Jolie ‘A Walking Poem’

by

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience dissecting the intricacies of Hollywood and its most captivating figures, I must say that Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are two stars whose paths rarely crossed, but when they did, magic happened. Their collaboration in “The Tourist” was a testament to their undeniable charm and charisma, despite the mixed reviews of their on-screen chemistry.

In Hollywood’s glamorous world, powerhouses like Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie seldom had the chance to work together, with the exception of their collaboration in the 2010 film The Tourist. This action-thriller found Jolie casting Depp as an American traveler vacationing in Italy, who she portrayed as her lover, a man wanted by the authorities.

In reality, Depp found both Jolie’s beauty and talents captivating, a sentiment that continues to resonate with fans today. It wasn’t until after the script for “Pirates of the Caribbean” went through numerous changes that Depp and Jolie, who had never worked together before, collaborated on their one and only film – “The Tourist,” directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Regardless of differing opinions about their screen connection due to high anticipation, these A-listers showed undiminished support for one another. They openly praised each other’s performances, with Johnny Depp, at 61 years old, expressing admiration in a poetic manner.

In that interview with Variety, Depp described Angelina as a living poem, suggesting she encapsulates everything perfect in beauty and talent. Beyond these qualities, he admired her sharp wit and great sense of humor too.

Jeanne du Barry joked, “She’s not only profound and intelligent but also witty, humorous, and possessing an unconventional sense of humor.”

Concurrently, Jolie, aged 49, reciprocated her co-star’s compliments by offering some of her own. She described him as an outstanding individual who is delightful to spend time with and a remarkably skilled actor. “He’s the friend you’re thrilled to share the work environment with, and he’s incredibly talented,” the actress expressed later on.

Regrettably, we didn’t get to witness further collaborations between these two iconic actors from Hollywood in different projects, as both have been producing fewer films recently. It seems unlikely that we’ll see them team up again in the future due to this trend.

Furthermore, following three Oscar nominations, the actor decided to leave Hollywood permanently due to the unjust treatment he experienced during the Amber Heard trials in 2020. According to Marca, this led to his removal from Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts series and Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, where he played the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.

He continues to act in other film industries, as the actor recently released the biopic Modi, based on Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, at the Venice Film Festival. Helmed by Depp and his production, IN, Modi has secured distribution in the country via Be Water, per Variety. 

Reports indicate that Johnny Depp has maintained a friendship with the actress from Maleficent since their collaboration in 2010. It’s been suggested that he suggested divorce lawyer Laura Wasser (who handled his own divorce) to Angelina Jolie during her separation from Brad Pitt in 2016. There were rumors about whether Depp and Jolie’s connection on The Tourist impacted her marriage with Pitt, but these were quickly debunked.

According to a source who spoke to The Sun, Angelina Jolie enlisted Johnny Depp’s attorney to represent her, following advice she received. It was further suggested that their friendship remained strong post-movie, with Jolie publicly supporting Depp during his high-profile divorce from Amber Heard in 2017.
